Congrats, John. Looks like the "high shoulder shot!" No wonder it was one & DRT, especially with a .626!

Good luck with the .54!

Bloody grouse

LOL, will have to admit, had to look up what grouse is for you, for us, it's a woodland bird. Learn something everyday. I'll know if I ever make it there one day, thanks for the lesson.

Can't beat that with a stick. Great hunt! Great shot placement must have went down like a stone. Should be some nice tender venison. Great job!

I saw this buck around 08:30 this morning he crossed 75 yards or so out along the edge of a thicket only too disappear into a deep hollow..

I hit my grunt call a few times & threw in a few doe bleats just for good measure and settled back thinking he had wandered away..

Well at 08:45 he just had too come see what the excitement was all about..

25 yard shot with my Tip Curtis 16 gauge smoothbore..
70 grns fffg Goex & a patched .626 roundball.
This was my fist smoothbore deer.View attachment 269691View attachment 269692View attachment 269693
